| Try Cosequin. It's not a meat flavored chewable. It contains chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride and manganese ascorbate. You just sprinkle the contents into the food. Cosequin is the best one out there IMO anyway. |

| I don't know that you're going to find a truly vegetarian glucosamine supplement because glucosamine is derived from shellfish and chondroitin is typically derived from some form of cartilage. Also, a lot of pills (cosequin included) contain magnesium stearate which comes from a meat source as well unless it specifies that it's vegetarian. If you're only concerned with meat flavor, then cosequin does not contain meat flavorings from what I have seen. You don't HAVE to open the capsule and sprinkle the contents on the food. You could always give a whole pill, but the recommendations state 1/2-1 pill for dogs under 10 lbs. I think it's best to start out little by little though. You could always sprinkle the contents into a little unsweetened applesauce or plain non-fat yogurt.
